Introduction:

“If you don’t give up on something you truly believe in, you will find a way.” ― Roy T. BennettOn Thursday night, I have been on a SABBATICAL for about a week. It's time to come back to the living. Yep ... never giving up on you!Still feeling like I need a bit of quiet time but this too will past. So, this post will be short and sweet.

Going to take off early Saturday... and I am headed somewhere.. maybe East!

There is so much amazing new and old music out there it is very hard to select the perfect song for the evening. Tonight’s artist, who is no longer with us, is Texas native and he can play the guitar. Naturally, I am speaking about Stevie Ray Vaughan. The song being featured is titled “Ain't Gone 'n' Give Up On Love”(2). It was the fourth song listed in his third album “Soul to Soul” which was release on September 30, 1985. His genre is considered Blues rock, Texas blues and electric blues. Tragically, on August 27, 1990, he died in a helicopter crash following a performance in East Troy, Wisconsin. This video was uploaded on YouTube in 2009 and it originated from his performance at The Orpheum Theater on Beale Street Memphis, Tennessee August, 1986. His incredible talent is missed.

I have listed the lyrics below for your reading pleasure."Ain't Gone 'n' Give Up On Love"(3)I ain't gone 'n' give up on loveLove won't give up on meI ain't gone 'n' give up on loveLove ain't gone 'n' give up on meEvery tear that I've criedOnly washed away the fear insideNow I, I ain't gone 'n' give up on loveEvery beat of my heartPounds with joy and not with painEvery beat of my heartPounds with joy and not in vainAnd although those are painful memoriesOnly brought me to my kneesI was just given up on loveLittle Johnny Taylor told us so long agoWhat about the midnight cryin'Wo that cheatin' and lyin'What about the price that willOh surely be paidThose that gave up on loveLove will have it's dayI ain't givin' up on loveI ain't gone 'n' give up on loveLove won't give up on meI ain't gone 'n' give up on loveLove won't give up on meEvery time I cryLove just won't let me beWon't set me free

T. S. Elliot wrote that “Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things”.
